Sniffing the smell of blood in the air, Orshiga relaxed his brows slightly.
I feel in a very good mood.
For creatures like demons, although a peaceful life is not bad, it still lacks the taste.
The great purge that took place in the royal capital today was undoubtedly to his liking and made him feel the peace he had not seen for a long time.
As for what they are dealing with, Orshiga doesn't care much. He doesn't care about whether other demons enter this world. Anyway, with his strength, he is not capable of taking over this world now. It is like running into a granary.
Like a rat, it may be able to eat to its fullest, but that's about it.
So he doesn't have much objection to other demons trying to break in. If they can come in, they can come in, and if they can't, they can pull them down.
However, he doesn't mind killing demons if he has the chance. After all, he can make a lot of money by killing a powerful demon.
Looking through the soil above, looking at the moon in the sky, he stretched: "...I really want to move..."
I really miss the simple time of ‘you kill me, I’ll kill you.’ in the bottomless abyss.
The next moment, the figure turned into an illusory bubble and disappeared into the basement.
-------
When it's almost daylight.
Both parties finally completed their respective tasks and gathered in front of the palace.
As soon as they met, Safi took the initiative to complain: "Your Highness Jim, I feel that our church has suffered too much from this deal. Originally, we just wanted to prevent the devil from coming, but I didn't expect that I helped you deal with more than a dozen cult forces.
As well as five or six underground forces, this is completely outside the mission."
At first glance, I just want Jem Watts to do more.
In response, James Watts just smiled and waved his hand: "How can you say that? Our Principality of Marton paid for it, and I see that your church's manpower. Although they look a little tired, there are not many casualties at all.
, so you can work harder if you can!"
The implication is that the transaction has already begun and it is impossible to ask me to add money.
Safi just smiled slightly and didn't say anything more, because he knew that saying something was the same as saying nothing.
The person in front of me is at least as thick-skinned as myself, and he is not someone to be fooled.
After silently giving the other party a high or low evaluation, Safi looked at the carriages still bleeding behind Jem Watts, squinted her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "It seems
Not only my side, but His Highness has also encountered a lot of trouble!"
Jim Watts shook his head and said with a casual smile: "There is no way. I suddenly found so many traitors and traitors. If I don't deal with them all, as a crown prince, I will feel uneasy. In order to warn those who come after me,
I also asked the soldiers to chop off their heads and prepare them to be piled at the city gate as a warning."
Safi persuaded: "Everyone is dead. Your Highness will cause a lot of rumors if you do this, which is not appropriate!"
"These are just minor issues, not worth mentioning. It's better for us to tidy up first and prepare to enter the palace. Although this is a search, the palace represents the face of the Principality of Marton after all. I hope the bishop can let his priests be a little more careful.
Please restrain yourself."
"Of course, I still understand this."
Soon after, when both parties were almost rested, Jim Watts walked up to the palace and made two gestures. The door of the palace was immediately opened from the inside without even saying a word.
Faced with this situation, Safi frowned slightly: 'It seems that he has basically taken care of all the key places in the Kingdom of Marton.'
"Let's go..."
Regardless of what they were thinking, Jem took the lead and entered the palace on his horse.
But what Jim Watts didn't expect was that as soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure standing not far away with his back to him.
After a sudden change in his expression, he got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, saying, "Mother, long time no see."
The other party said without looking back: "I don't have a son like you."
The voice was full of indifference.
Not paying attention to the other party's indifference, Jim Watts said with a normal expression: "Now there are cultists hiding in the royal capital. They are trying to cause great trouble, and there are certain risks in the palace, so I need to
Let’s check it out, I hope my mother won’t be surprised.”
The other party smiled disdainfully and said, "Excuse me? Huh, will what I say now be useful?"
After saying that, she left straight away without even looking at Jem Watts and her son.
Although there was no expression on Safi's face on the side, she immediately felt that there was a lot of inside story inside, otherwise a mother and son should never behave like enemies.
When the other party left, Jim Watts stood up from the ground with a normal expression, and gently waved his hands to the soldiers and priests behind him: "Start the search, and be careful not to destroy anything."
Only Charles noticed that Jem Watts's eyes were a little dull, as if he was thinking about something.
Obviously, his heart is far less peaceful than his face.
But Charles didn't ask any more questions, because he knew what kind of person Jem Watts was, and to be able to make him lose his composure, there must be a reason why he didn't want to tell others.
So I just stood there quietly and did nothing.
----------
Not long after, after some searching.
Everyone confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the palace.
Following Jem Watts' instructions, they started heading to the next location.
--------
Looking at the building in front, Safi controlled the war horse to stop, and said with a very serious expression: "We seem to have found the target."
"Because you are aware of our approach and are not sure that we will not be discovered, why don't you just stop pretending?"
Feeling the atmosphere of the building that was completely different from usual, Jim Watts analyzed calmly: "It seems that by understanding our movements in the city, they have deduced our purpose, so now they are directly planning to burn the boat.
"
'The Colosseum, as one of the largest buildings in the Royal Capital, has always been occupied by members of the royal family in rotation. I remember that the person in charge of this place now is my uncle Richard Watts. It can be used by the Crooked Spirit Society.
Was it his negligence when he was a den? Or was it for other reasons...'
After thinking about it for a while, he gave up worrying about that issue.
Because there is a problem standing in front of him right now, that is, when the Colosseum was built, it was also given the function of [Royal Capital Defense Fortress], so its construction specifications are extremely high, and the height of the outer city walls is close to
Thirty-five meters apart, ordinary people except knights can only look at it even if they have ropes. The gate is made of iron wood and metal. It is fire-proof and sword-proof. Even a siege ram cannot break it in a short time.
Facing this fortress standing in front of him, Jim Watts immediately gave up the plan of taking the main entrance.
After his eyes flashed for a few times, he raised his hands and shouted: "All knights and great knights put on wall-climbing hooks and prepare to climb the wall! As for those who are not strong enough to be knights, put on bows and arrows.
Tie a piece of cloth soaked in kerosene on the arrow and let me shoot into it."
Unlike on Earth, where sieges must rely on large-scale equipment such as siege ladders, humans in this world have additional developments in certain tools due to their extraordinary power. Wall-climbing hooks are one of them.
It can allow people to climb on the wall to a certain extent, but it relies too much on physical strength. Once you climb too high and run out of energy, you will easily fall to death.
Moreover, this thing requires the use of all four limbs, making it impossible to even lift a shield, and it can easily be used as a moving target by the defender. Therefore, most of its functions are used for sneak attacks, and frontal combat is just a simple courtship of death.
However, although the opponent is now on guard, Jim Watts does not believe that a group of shady cultists can hastily recruit hundreds of people to defend, and only dozens of people can be killed. With the support of bows and arrows
Under such circumstances, the thousands of knights and great knights on their side can completely use wall-climbing hooks to forcefully climb the wall. There may be a certain degree of casualties, but at least it is within the acceptable range!
Following his order, the soldiers and generals immediately began to change their equipment without any hesitation and quickly put on wall-climbing hooks. However, the priests of the church's heretic hunting station began to hesitate and looked at Sa.
Philippines.
After some hesitation, Safi gritted her teeth and ordered: "Those at the Knight level and the Grand Knight level will start to wear wall-climbing hooks to prepare for coordinated operations. Those below the Knight level will use bows and arrows as cover to attack."
He knew that at this time, necessary sacrifices could not be avoided. Otherwise, when the sacrifice ceremony in the Colosseum was completely completed and the devil truly came to this world, it would definitely cause greater losses. That was not a scene he wanted to see.
No matter what his purpose is or what thoughts he has about the Principality of Marton, as a devout believer, his hatred of demons is absolute and he cannot tolerate that kind of thing happening in front of his eyes.
As soon as this order was issued, many priests immediately began to change their equipment like the soldiers of the Principality of Marton.
Wall-climbing hooks are as common weapons for them as swords. In terms of special operations, they often have to deal with cultists and evil creatures, and they are even more familiar with it than most soldiers!
When everything was ready, along with several rounds of rocket fire, bursts of screams began to sound in the Colosseum, which was the sound of cultists being hit.
After determining the interval between a round of bow and arrow attacks, James Watts ordered without any hesitation: "The assault begins!"
Thousands of warriors equipped with wall-climbing hooks clung to the city wall like lizards and began to climb quickly!
During this period, many cultists tried to shoot them down, but the continuous attacks of bows and arrows severely suppressed most of them. Only a few people were able to spare their hands to attack the climbers on the city wall.
In the face of these attacks, although the climbers were unable to fight back, they relied on their absolute superiority in numbers to forcefully break through their defenses despite casualties.
As they continued to successfully climb the wall, Jim Watts immediately asked the archers to stop shooting.
Due to the change in the number of people above, there is no benefit except shooting at one's own people.
He was not kept waiting for too long. With the sound of the edges of the gate scraping against the ground, the gate of the Colosseum was opened from the inside!
Jim Watts ordered: "All archers should switch to melee weapons! Kill them all if they encounter resistance!"
